Nicola Peltz wears replica of David Beckham's football kit in bizarre rift updat
The 30-year-old billionaire posed on her family's super-yacht this week wearing vintage Umbro England strip shorts; a replica of the pair worn by her father-in-law David, 50, when he reached the quarter-finals of Euro 96′ with the national team.
Nicola, who married eldest Beckham child Brooklyn, 26, in 2022, also looked a little like her mother-in-law with slick, dark hair and statement sunglasses on top of a simple black strap top and the memorable shorts.
The US actress posed in the mirror wearing the garms and took a picture of the moment, adding it to her Instagram Story.
This comes amid a seemingly serious feud between the couple and the rest of the Beckham clan; none of whom have shut down the chatter.
After previous rumours of a feud came and went, they rose fast when Brooklyn and his wife were no-shows at dad Sir David Beckham's 50th birthday bash earlier this year.
Having snubbed his dad's big moment, Brooklyn then went on to wish Nicola's billionaire tycoon father, Nelson Peltz, a happy birthday on social media.
Nicola has faced the full wrath of Beckham fans, with many accusing her of keeping Brooklyn under the thumb.
While Nicola has stayed silent on the feud, she liked a comment by a fan defending her, who said: 'The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd. The guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them be and stop blaming women for everything.' https://www.instagram.com/p/DLrHSGoMGWr/?hl=en&img_index=1
Meanwhile, Brooklyn – who was reported to have been 'disappointed in himself' for missing his dad's big bash – previously vowed to 'always choose' Nicola via his own Instagram video, making it clear where his priorities lie.
While neither have directly addressed the feud publicly, they did give a rather cryptic response in a recent interview when asked about how they 'protect [their] privacy'.
Brooklyn told Glamour Germany: 'Don't listen to all the nonsense.
'Keep your head down, work hard, stay friendly.
'There will always be people who talk. The important thing is that we're happy together.'
Meanwhile Sir David has continued making declarations of love for all his kids online, Brooklyn included, such as in his affectionate Father's Day post.
However Brooklyn's younger brothers Romeo and Cruz went down a different route, making what some have interpreted as 'digs' at Brooklyn via TikTok comments and Instagram Stories.
When rumours of the feud were blowing up, Cruz shared an old picture of his family and said: 'I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.'
After Brooklyn shared a video saying he'd always 'choose' Nicola, Cruz also took to social media and said: 'It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth.'

Reason latest twist in Beckhams' feud could be devastating for little Harper
Harper Beckham has reportedly idolised her oldest brother Brooklyn since she was a young child, but friction has developed within the family since Brooklyn's no-show at Sir David's birthday bash Harper Beckham will be "devastated" today if her oldest brother Brooklyn fails to wish her a happy birthday, it is said. Sir David and Lady Beckham's youngest child - and only daughter - is understood to have idolised Brooklyn since she was a young child. Although she doesn't have Instagram yet, it is believed the "family thing" is to tag Harper in a photograph on posts as #harperseven to acknowledge her big day as she turns 14. But Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were no-shows at Sir David's 50th birthday celebrations earlier this year, which has led to a public feud within the family. Fearful of a repeat of this episode, a source said: "Brooklyn and Harper used to be inseparable. He adored her, he hopefully still does, but the problem is that Brooklyn has a track record for ignoring family birthdays now. "It would be devastating for Harper not to hear from him. She hasn't done anything and she's only 13 years old, she is the innocent party here." Brooklyn Beckham 'so happy' as he shares major update on in-laws amid family rift The concern has emerged after Nicola, 30, made a number of eyebrow-raising remarks about family life as her own father's birthday celebrations enter a third week. Showing her followers her Pop Mart dolls lined up in a row, she wrote: "our little family", with a telling second snap, which she captioned: "My mom just gets it." She later posted a snap of herself hugging her father, writing: "I love you so much dad." This has led to the insider's comments Harper will be disappointed if she doesn't hear from Brooklyn, either privately or publicly today. They told Mail Online:"Harper's birthday has always been such a happy day, she's the adored little daughter so it's always so joyous but this is a tough situation. Brooklyn was 12 when Harper was born, he was so important in her life and it must be terribly sad that she isn't seeing him since the fall out with David and Victoria happened." At the start of her relationship with Brooklyn, Nicola seemed to forge a strong bond with Harper. The actress soon positioned herself as a "big sister" figure to the little girl, who is said to have "adored" her. Harper has reportedly also always been close to Brooklyn, who is 12 years older than her. But it is believed now the couple, who married in April 2022 at her family's £76million Florida mansion, no longer speak to Sir David and Lady Beckham. Our source said this week Brooklyn's younger siblings, particularly Harper, have sadly become collateral damage of the feud. "Harper's been particularly affected by what's going on because she's always been really close to Brooklyn," claimed the source. "They've always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born, and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she'd become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers."

How to holiday White Lotus-style: Billionaire Playground reviewed
Today's television is notably fond of presenting us with very rich people to both despise and wish we lived like. As well as high-end dramas like Succession and The White Lotus (a programme that's caused a huge rise in bookings for the resorts where its characters' dreadfulness is filmed), there are any number of documentaries in which the bling's the thing. Netflix, for example, has a genre called 'Lavish Reality Lifestyles' that consists of 38 different shows. In a mildly cunning twist, Billion Dollar Playground makes some of the staff who wait on the wealthy a kind of audience surrogate: mixing enthusiastic wonder at all that money can bring with beady-eyed disdain for the sense of entitlement displayed by those it brings it to. The staff in question work for an Australian company that specialises in providing large houses and servants for people wanting a break from their everyday lives of large houses and servants. In this week's two episodes, the setting was an undeniably luxurious villa in Sydney, where the fawning over the guests began before the guests arrived. First, head concierge Salvatore oversaw the preparation of the house, taking a particularly stern line on slightly misaligned dining chairs. The staff then took advance delivery of the luggage, which the guests, naturally, had neither packed nor were going to unpack themselves. In their defence, mind you, there was a lot of it. The seven women who'd hired the villa (aka 'the ladies') each had ten dresses and 12 pairs of shoes for their two-day stay. Meanwhile, another thing being got ready was the suspiciously neat soap-opera subplot: an inter-concierge power struggle between Salvatore and his two assistants – the sassy Heaven, who didn't like it when her boss was bossy, and goody-goody Jasmin whose distaste for Heaven's 'lack of respect' led to much mutual glaring. Eventually the ladies showed up and soon got down to what was required of them, objecting to caviar being served with salmon and complaining that a towel was 'too smooth'. Now all we needed was a spot of jeopardy, which the programme did its breathless best to inject. Would Heaven get the ladies on time to Sydney's Luna theme park which had been laid aside for their exclusive use as a dessert venue? Would she be able to meet their sudden demand for a fire-dancer and seven belly-dancing skirts? (For the record, the answers were 'yes' and 'yes'.) So what precisely is the point of Billion Dollar Playground? As ever, Heaven came to the rescue by supplying the answer. For all the contrived plotting, the programme's main job is clearly to have the same effect on us as her job has on Heaven. 'I love being able to live vicariously through the guests!' she declared, representing the audience once again. The Trouble with Mr Doodle was a curious tale, efficiently, if somewhat incuriously, told. As a boy, Sam Cox would spend 15 hours a day drawing. As a young man, he adopted the persona of Mr Doodle for Instagram videos of himself in increasingly spectacular doodling action. He also created an entire mythology of Mr Doodle's struggle to create 'Doodleworld' on earth. His admittedly pretty nifty scribbles were then spotted by a Hong Kong art dealer and his large-scale works began selling for up to a million dollars. The money allowed him to realise his life-long dream of buying a mansion and having it stripped out and painted white so that he could cover every square inch inside and out with, as you might imagine, doodles. Understandably, this already seemed to his parents and unexpected girlfriend Alena (all of whom appeared here, along with the man himself) a touch monomaniacal. But it turned into full-blown psychosis in 2022 when Sam Cox disappeared and a hallucinating Mr D. took over completely. Sectioned under the Mental Health Act, he was put in a cell where, deprived of drawing equipment, he doodled on the walls with tomato soup. At this stage, a happy ending didn't seem likely. Yet that's what the programme now brought us. Having slowly got better, Sam toyed with killing off Mr Doodle but, realising he couldn't live without him, returned to finish decorating the house and to marry the preternaturally patient Alena. After explaining his 'psychotic episode' online, he also received much restorative sympathy from his Instagram followers. Of course, you could see why the programme chose to take everybody's word that Sam/Mr Doodle is fully recovered, if only out of good manners. Nonetheless, the decision to do so meant that several questions were left unanswered – and indeed unasked. Doesn't Alena find their (let's just say) odd-looking home a little oppressive? Has Sam Cox genuinely made his peace with Mr Doodle – and, if so, how? Above all, are the programme-makers really so sure that everything's now fine?
